  2. Dear future
    Sorry We do nothing
    We didn’t realize the earth
    And
    Trees are amazing
    They clean carbon
    And
    Purify water
    I
    Am sorry to tell you
    We burned them
    Cut them
    50% of the trees
    All gone
    In 100 years
    WHY

    from chicken and chips

  7. Where i’m from

    I came from high mountains and city streets
    from rice in leave and candy
    dresses and bears
    music in my ears and heart
    I sleep to go find love
    and make others feel joy

    city lights bring me joy as I wonder in my bed
    from cars zooming past the time
    and from Autuam to Winter
    and if you come out of balcony they will tell you their on the rampage.

  8. My own version of the poem:)

    I’m from a busy city called London
    From fried chicken to hamburgers
    From cool Nike trainers to expensive handbags
    Listening to pop music and rap songs on headphones in trains
    Sometimes the weather is hot or too cold
    From where you get free education
    Where most people have a family and someone loves you
    Where everyone treats you with respect

    -Mawahib(Duncombe Primary)

    1. I realy liked this persons poem because it explanes there life very well i think that is amazing i also liked how they used capes for one line because it tells me they want to make it seem like they were shouting they should write more poems and keep writing

  16. i was born in Scotland where i was born i was a young lad.
    We’ve had many differences frcow england and irland and all that.
    We have far open land we have famous areas like locknes and many oferes such as a small tererost happend they put a bomb on a plane which exploded on top of a corn field
    which killed the people on the plane but it crashed and killed the farmers crops

  17. I really liked the poem but here is half of mine!:I am from a Lamborghini from a flat and family.I am from football and tennis I am from Manchester City.I am from my mom,cake and salami and I am from my brother. Hope you like it!!!!!!!!!!!! Also the poem was really amazing about Muhammad Ali.

  18. i really like this poem because its really meaning full and sad,my favourite bit wear he talks about the “amazon desert” -Taryn:]

  19. I really liked the poem but here is half of mine!:
    I am from a Lamborghini
    from a flat and family.
    I am from football and tennis
    I am from Manchester City.
    I am from my mom, cake and salami
    and I am from my brother.

    Hope you like it!!
    Also the poem was really amazing about Muhammad Ali.

  20. I really like the poem by Kwame Alexander, this is my version of the poem…. I am from Jamaica I am from a chocolate cake I am from never give up
    I am from Sunday and Saturday because there no school
    I am from playtime
    I am from pink and purple
    I am from home time
    I am from football
    I am from my sister and my brother.

  21. We really like the poem, because lot’s of people don’t want to talk about the background of their families. Here is some of my poem.

    I am from a football.
    I am from a Lakers kit.
    I am from Kosovo.
    I am from KFC.
    I am from Morrison.

  22. I like how Kwame did not just say what country or place he lives in
    but said in his poem stuff he liked,
    what he wears and some things about his life.

    I also like how his favourite saying is “don’t say you can’t till you try”

  23. I like the poem when he said “don”t say you cant till you try” because its true. you can not try something and get though life and you just cry for help.

    I am from pizza on Monday
    I am from lambs
    I am from story writing
    I am from friends

  24. I really liked this poem since it really hits you with mixed emotions. I really loved how he said little hints of how he grew up. It’s really sad and heart breaking to hear how he grew up since he was most likely born in a quite poor country . It was sad to read the line ‘the living room you stayed out of’. Maybe that means his family didn’t care about him much.

  25. I love your poem Kwame Alexander.I like how you describe what you had in your life and how you used that for your poem, it really describes your personality.

    This is my version of the poem where i’m from.

    I am from a Range Rover
    from cracking my head open & having chocolate on my mouth.
    I am from shyness & determination.
    I am from a bengal tiger
    (ready to leap)
    I am a bengal tiger determined and ready.
    I am a bengal tiger and ferocious.
    I am from bangladeshi
    from rice and curry & gua
    I am from all around the world
    I’m from Islam & Salah
    I am from my prophet’s way
    I am from Islam.
    Allah is always with you.

  26. I like Kwame Alexander’s poem but here’s mine: I’m from a Ferrari
    from a flat and a small family
    I am from Yahya and the UK
    I am from earth
    I am from home
    and chicken and rice
    I am from Yahya and Salah.
    Hope you liked it!

  27. I like how he describes his lifestyle and the title where i’m from really shows his personality and what he likes. He shares a lot of things about himself and I really like when he says don’t say you can’t till you try.

    1. Thank you Kayla. Can you expand on this? Perhaps mention the foods you like, the places you go to, what you wear.

  28. We really liked the poem.
    It was very inspiring. It was amazing how his life started from pink small houses into a world heavy weight champion. So we re-created it.

    I am from rice and curry
    I am from football
    I am from a holiday birthday

  30. I love how even though this person is from a whole other country it is still quiet relatable as it is not that Hollywood life that everyone expects.

  31. I like the poem. It gives us a sense on what this person’s life is like and it tells us that he might live in America because of the ‘Black Cadilacs’ part at the beginning.

  32. I live were yerbury school is in session. Every time you open the door you can hear the yerbury kids singing. Every time you take a stroll in the park everybody greets you. I live tufenroll park.

  40. I liked Kwame’s poem because it give’s a positive message for where he live’s and try’s to
    save there belongings, they sound rich at first then they sound poor at the end .

  41. I’m from a garden full of flowers,from pets and having fun,

    I’m from we are all together,from playing outside,
    I’m from walk in the forest,

  43. I think this is really interesting because at the start it says ”I am from black cadillacs” even though further down the poem it says sharing a bathroom with all my family. Love this poem.Bye!

  44. I liked it when it says don’t say you can’t till you try because if you want to give up it you will think I should not give up.

  45. WHERE I’M FROM

    I’m from going to bed late
    On seven days of the week

    I am from nice parents,
    I am from Nandos,
    I am from nice meals,
    I am from movie nights,

  47. i love the phrase i am iron black cadillacs because when we were discussing as a class we thought he was poor because of the phrase iron plastic covered sofas in tiny pink houses but then i found the phrase iron black cadillacs and sunday fried chicken and chocolate birthday cakes and iron Levys slacks and shiny white shoes this was very intresting to me and quite a unike poem

  48. I really like the phrase I’m from plastic covered sofas because it sound like they are trying to use one item for as long as they can instead of just buying a new one which means that they are helping the enviorment.

    1. Yes I think that’s right but probably not because of the environment but it’s more likely to be as they were poor.

  49. I am from playing fortnite everyday
    and watching TV
    I am from going to bed late
    and eating pizza

    I am from playing sports everyday
    to being energetic
    I am from where my parents say
    “open your curtains! Don’t turn on your light

    I am from 2 hot Caribbean countries
    both nice and tropical.

  50. Laiyla: I like this poem because it talks about Muhammad’s life when he was young.
    Hope:i like this because its interesting to hear about Muhammad’s life.

  51. I love how this poem paints a picture in your mind of how his life was. I also love how it is so realistic about life! This is an amazing poem.

  52. WE LOVE THIS POEM because its got lots of fun information and lots of information and its very very very very VERY intresting

  53. I realy liked this poem because it tells me alot of stuff about his life and hiw his childhood was and i loved that

  54. I think this is a very cleverly formed poem and I belive Kwame Alexander has done an amazing job on Where I’m From.

  55. I like this poem because kwame does not just put i am from america he uses “i am from black cadilacs” so i can tell that he is american because black cadilacs are an old american car so i can infer from that, that kwame is american

  56. What I love about this poem is that you can express yourself in many different ways and triky ways also he make the poem abstract and it make you paint a picture in your mind of how amazing of how his life was. In addition my favourite phase was “don’t say you can’t til you try “.

  57. I like the way Kwame structured the poem man to man especially when he writes down his words, making the words go in the direction the characters moving with the ball in making it look very competitive.

  58. I am from face masks and hand sanatiser
    From baking and big familys
    I am from sarcasom and fun
    Im from urban landscapes
    I am from busy streets and funny weather
    From high flats
    I am from brothers anoying me
    From pizza and pasta
    I am from celerbrating birthdays with each other
    I am from be more lady like
    And leave me alone
    I am from big familys but small kitchens
    Im from celerbrating together
    From spending time with family

  59. I thought that Kwami Alexander’s poem ( where I’m from ) was very informative and interesting. I think this because the poem is all about identity wich gave lots of information and he made sure to take note of anything of interest for instance “from black cadillacs” which where really popular cars in the 1960’s and he probably grew up seeing them quite alot. We really had fun exploring even more of Kwami’s poems such as: man to man and studied the graphic novel:the crossover!

  60. I like this poem because it doesn’t just say i am from America 1960s it says i am from black cadillacs wich is a car from America and it was made in the 1960s . My favourite part was From don’t say you can’t til you try … because it is true you cant , like if you go climbing or dancing you have to try at least once before you can say you cant do it ,you can do anything if you try realy hard and practice

  61. I like the way Kwame says dont say you cant till you try because it makes me think of how my parents always say that to me when ever i am struggling

  62. I like how Kwame paints a picture in your mind and tells you his life in a poetic style(you could also make a photo album about it). He also talks about how he wasn’t rich (…”in tiny pink houses”) but his family was very caring(“…don’t say you can’t ’til you try…”).

  63. I love the poem Where I’m From because Kwame Alexander explains someone’s life really well and I like the way he uses words such as cadillcs and levy slacks which tells me he is talking about things in the past. In the poem (Where I’m From)at the end it says ‘don’t say you can’t till you try’ which I think is really nice to end the poem. I love Kwame Alexander’s poem,ManTo Man because it talks about 2 brothers being competitive in basketball which is like a competition in real life. I would also love to read crossover which is a graphic novel by Kwame Alexander. Overall I love the poem Where I’m from and I recommend it.

  64. I am from decorated drawers,
    From glitter and pens,
    I am from artistic and humour,
    I’m from Australian budgies,
    Overflowing,colour,
    It smells sweet but not for long,
    I am from many swaying flowers,
    Chicken and spicy mayo wrap,
    And spicy kebab strips,
    I am from my grandma helping me sew,
    I am from everyday ” I love you “,
    And love that keeps your heart strong
    I am from generous gifts,
    Pleasent manners,
    And heart warming hugs,
    I am from ” don’t give up you can do it !”

  65. I found this poem interesting because it shows a kindnof photo album of Kwame Alexander’s life, and this poem gives us many referances of what time era Kwame was living in for most of his life and it also gives us a very good referance of what his lifestyle might have been such as rich or poor. This poem by Kwame Alexander and if he was cared for or not as a child. The style of the poem is also quite intersting using I am from and making a poem seem like a photo album and this isn’t a common style (atleast it wasn’t until where I’m from got popular).

  66. I like this poem because of the quote it has which is “From don’t say you can’t’il you try ” this quote doesn’t just describe the person but also gives a word of encouragement for all of us .

    We have been learning about the “Where I’m from” poem and I have really enjoyed this poem . It is very clever how he describes where he is from as he actually doesn’t really describe it but uses part of his life example “From cash and bird From story tellers “.

  67. I like the peom”Where I’m from” Because its Like real life and the part “sunday fried chicken ” because It’s real on sundays u have fried chicken .

  68. I am from black BMWs
    From playstation 5
    I’m from two bedroom houses
    And one bathroom we all shared
    From fish and chip Friday
    To Nike tracksuits
    And white air forces
    From cash and phones
    From clothe makers
    Im from ” nothings imposible”…

  69. Where I’m From

    I am from endless text books and overflowing shelves
    From apple TV’s and Nintendo switches
    I am from emaculate folded paper and masses of building blocks
    From huge holiday houses and emence ocean cruises
    I am from big twirly pasta and foot long subway sandwiches
    From cold winter nights and relaxing Sunday mornings
    I am from the passing of great grandma
    From the pain her death bought
    I am from the beautiful sound of silence
    From “Come do your homework!!!”

  70. I am from notebooks that I draw in
    From flats and cats
    From sarcasm and being wierd
    Im from animals and nature
    I am from the sandy seaside and delicious ice cream
    From roast dinners and chips
    I am from teasing cousin’s
    From life is short
    And never give up
    From the best day ever
    To the worst
    Sometimes you have to break rules to get things right

  71. Where i’m from by cairo

    I am from my mums old device
    I am from tea lovers and British biscuits .
    I am from my led lights.
    I am from my ok football skills.
    I am from continuous-days of soggy rain.
    I am from singing with my sister dived by two.
    I am from the smell of Jamaican curry goat and gumbo soup.
    I am from the memories that make me myself .
    I am from viewing the tv screen .
    I am from me

  72. This is my poem

    Where I’m From

    I am from English breakfast ,
    From my very supportive friends,
    The whooshing sound of rain drops sprinkling on my face ,
    From the smell of fine tulips in the meadows,
    to balancing on the board in the ocean,
    I am from nature ,
    Bushes in the park,
    I am from chocolate brownies every Sunday,
    Oven cooked Mac & Cheese,
    From May 31st when grandpa died,
    I am from gliding through water,
    And football posters on the wall,
    I’m from “Never Give up ”
    And kind and smart,
    “COME DO YOUR
    V
    I
    O
    L
    I
    N”

  73. I like the way the author used onomatopia and different fonts to show who was talking in his book “The Crossover” (the poem called ‘Man to Man’) and that in the poem ” Where I’m from ” he used the term ‘ tiny pink houses’ and that made me realise that there aren’t that many houses in London, so I thought that he might be talking about being from America because there are lots of houses in some particular areas over there.

  74. Where I’m from
    I am from loud music
    and odd socks.
    I am from the midnight-black crow
    who wakes me up each morning
    and the trusty, stable tree it lives on.
    From paint-stained jeans
    worn and ripped from adventures.
    I am from a warm 3-room flat
    that lights up like a fire at night.
    From countless shopping trips
    and shiny black cabs to get home.
    From the pain of when my grandad
    Whent on a walk with Parkinsons and Cancer
    and never came back.
    From sanatiser and face masks.
    And “have you done your homework yet?”,
    “Don’t give up!”and “Try again!”
    I AM FROM HAPPINESS!

  75. Where I’m From

    I am from bright and attractive screens,
    And from speaking Bengali all day,
    I am from the comfortable living room we are always in,
    And loud sounds from the tv,

    I am from the taste of cheesy mash potatoes,
    And hot curry,
    From baking with family,
    And from to many pens running out,
    I am from red double decker buses,
    I am from the feeling of soft snow,
    And a cold winter breeze,
    From eating cereal anytime I like,
    I am from cycling for hours,
    I am from going grandma’s every Sunday,
    From being annoyed by my brother,
    And from ‘leave me
    A
    L
    O
    N
    E
    !

  76. I am from British smell
    I used to use a plate
    I have a crazy Jungle box,
    I am from a kind / funny person
    I am from a grey cat
    I am books and bikes,
    I am My nice moms scent ,
    I am from spaggeti billonays,
    I am from noddles
    I am My uncle sadly passed away.
    I am from “LEILA COME GET THIS FOR ME THANK YOU”
    “I am alone in my feelings”
